4. Description of Functionality
illustrates the functionality available within the 7SR23.
The relay can be configured to provide the following
modes of operation:
• 3 Pole Diff + REF
• 3 Pole Diff + EF
• REF1 + REF2
87/50 Differential Protection - scheme
Two sets of differential protection are provided, 87/50-1 and 87/50-2. Current inputs can be
connected to provide overall phase segregated high impedance differential protection.
CT50 CT Supervision
The CT Supervision feature measures the unbalance current in the CT circuits. Any unbalance
current may indicate an open circuit in the CT secondary connections.
50G Earth Fault
Earth current is directly measured current from an independent CT or the residual connection of
the 3 line CTs (Holmgreen connection).
87REF Restricted Earth Fault - scheme
Analogue inputs can be connected and configured to provide one or two high impedance restricted
earth fault protections (87 REF).
5. Application
o 3 phase high impedance differential protection is typically applied to busbar s, connections, auto -
transformers, reactors and motors . Restricted earth fault protection is typically applied to provide
protection of transformer windings.
o High impedance protection is recommended for all applications where faults must be cleared in
the shortest possible time and where discrimination must be ensured. High impedance schemes
can provide lower fault settings and better through fault stability than is possible with most other
schemes.
o The stability of the high impedance scheme is ensured because the applied operate voltage setting
is greater than the maximum voltage that can appear across the relay circuit under through fault
condition s. An external series stabilising resistor (RSTAB) is installed to provide a relay circuit
operate voltage is above that required to guarantee stability .
o External non -linear resistors (Metrosils) are connected in parallel with the relay circuit to limit
circuit over -voltages.
o The relay current setting and the operating voltage of the relay/stabilising resistor combination is
calculated taking into account: -
• Transient stability under through fault conditions as verified by calculation assuming worst case
conditions.
• The required operate level for internal fault conditions.
o It is recommended that low reactance CTs to IEC 61869 -2 Class PX are used.
6. Theory of High Impedance Current Balance Protective
Schemes and their Application
Thus the maximum voltage is given by:
1) V = IF (RCT +RL ) × T
Where:
V = Maximum voltage across relay circuit during through fault conditions.
RL = Resistance current transformer connection leads.
RCT = Current transformer secondary winding resistance
IF = Maximum steady state through fault current.
T = Turns ratio of all current transformers (Primary turns / secondary turns)
2) IS = P.O.C − (∑I mag + I NLR ) / T
Where:
IS = Relay setting current
P.O.C. = Primary operate current (fault setting).
Imag = Current transformer magnetising currents at the value of VS.
INLR = Current taken by the non-linear resistor/voltage limiting device at VS (this value
is usually small and often may be neglected).
3) RSTAB=Vs
Is
__
Where: VS = Relay circuit operate voltage
4) V < Vs < 0.5V x CT knee point voltage
The required watt-second rating of the resistor is established at setting and at the
maximum fault rating – short time rating.
7. Data Acquisition - Via Communication Interface
Sequence of event records
Up to 5000 events are stored and time tagged to 1ms resolution
Fault Records
The last 10 fault records are displayed on the relay fascia and are also available through the
communication interface, with time and date of trip, measured quantities and type of fault.
Waveform recorder
The waveform recorder stores analogue data for all poles and the states of protection functions,
binary inputs, LEDs and binary outputs with user settable pre & post trigger data. A record can be
triggered from protection function, binary input or via data communications. 20 seconds of
waveform storage is available. The waveform storage duration period is user configurable.
Different storage periods can be selected for triggering from protection function, binary input or
data comms.
Real Time Clock
The time and date can be set and are maintained while the relay is de-energised by a back up
storage capacitor. The time can be synchronized from a binary input pulse, via the data
communication channel(s) or from the optional IRIG-B port.
10. Reydisp Evolution and Manager
Reydisp Evolution is common to the entire range of
Reyrolle numeric products. It provides a means for
the user to apply settings, interrogate settings and
also to retrieve events & disturbance waveforms
from the relay. Reydisp Evolution installation
includes a Communications Editor to allow
configuration of the serial protocol data points and a
Language Editor to allow relay display text to be
edited. This can be used to provide non-English
language support using the European character set
Reydisp Manager provides the functionality of Reydisp
Evolution and also provides project management of
multiple devices to allow engineering of IEC61850
projects. It also provides access to user logic within the
devices via an easy to use graphical interface.
